With the 30-25, 26-30, 22-30, 30-16, 15-13 loss, the Bulldogs fall to 3-3 on the season with one match remaining Saturday.

The Bulldogs hit .196 for the match compared to the visitors' .176 mark. Butler also had 15 blocks to the Gamecocks' five, but Jacksonville State had 92 digs and 74 kills in the marathon match, which lasted two hours and 15 minutes.
